Interviewed Feb 2008 in City of London, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
Three stages to the interview - a set of technical questions on a website, which were relatively straightforward to anyone with experience; an HR interview which was behavioural - ie. how I reacted in a variety of situations (eg. describe a situation where I dealt with underperforming teammates).
The final stage of the process was a one-to-one interview with a mid-level programmer. I described in detail a project I had worked on in my previous job. There were few in-depth technical questions. It was almost a formality.

Negotiation Details
Asked for a 2k increase but they were of a take-it-or-leave-it attitude. Working at Accenture, ones take a pay cut to have a chance to network with their clients really.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and an IQ/Intelligence Test.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took 2+ weeks)
The whole process consisted of 2 rounds.
Both telephonic.
The first round was a technical interview where the interviewer asked question about the technology in general and some very basic questions.
then, the questions got a little hypothetical and concept based.
HR Round: The HR round consisted of questions like - "Why Accenture?", "What are the expectations?" etc.
The HR round invariably consists of a hypothetical situation which goes on like this: "Let's suppose you have a deliverable to be delivered after three weeks, but the deliverable will take at least 6 weeks of development. What will you do in that circumstance?"
I answered - "If I know that the deliverable will take at least 6 weeks, I will go and inform my supervisor about the situation and that he should extend the timelines. If he is not willing to do so, I will put in extra efforts and may be work on weekends to complete the task.

Interviewed Apr 2007 in South San Francisco, CA (took 2 days)
Initial contact was made by a recruiter performing a phone screen. Phone interview with a Senior Engineer was scheduled for the following week. That person gave a recommendation for the level of position that I was a candidate for. In-person interview with another Senior Engineer was made one week later. Offer was made to me two business days after the in-person interview.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I was able to negotiate an extra $1000 into my annual salary. With Accenture Technology Solutions, they follow a very strict pay scale for the level at which you are being offered a position. The pay range is around $10K for each level, for example, entry level Junior engineers are offered somewhere between $41K to $49999 depending on how well the interview went or the types of knowledge/experience you are bringing with you. ATS, typically pays much lower salaries than in an equivalent positions outside of consulting. Still, you should be able to negotiate a small increase from their initial offer by showing interest in the offer, but being hesitant to accept. Be cautious, many who are offered a position are willing to take a pay-cut in order to join ATS for the experience.
